Explanation

Google Glass has a selling price of Rs. 40,940 and a 15% profit, so its cost price is about Rs. 35,600. Fitbit has a cost price of Rs. 22,150 and a 12% loss, so its selling price is Rs. 19,492. The ratio 35,600/19,492 × 100 is approximately 183%.

AI explanation

The selling price of Fitbit is its cost price minus the 12% loss, which is 22150 minus 12% of 22150, resulting in Rs. 19492. The cost price of Google glass is derived from its selling price divided by 1.15, making it 40940 divided by 1.15, which is approximately Rs. 35600. The required percentage is the cost price of Google glass divided by the selling price of Fitbit, so 35600 divided by 19492 gives approximately 183%.
